Axial direction in wood means its longitudinal direction (the height of the tree when it was growing). Engineers look at this as the direction that cylinder spins on its axis, if log were a roller, the axial direct ion would be along its length.
Axial Thrust is a force that is generated in an axial direction which is by definition along the shaft
These are machines dealing with fluids, like (Axial Compressors, pumps and Fans). the term "Axial" is given due to the direction of inward and outward flow. In axial turbo machines the direction of outward flow is the same as the direction of the inward flow since the blades of the machines doesn't change the direction of flow.
It is the direction in line with the axis of a member or structure
It is the direction in line with (parallel to) the axis of the part. If you have a cylindrical shaft, for example, the axial direction runs along the length thru the center of the circular ends.
Axial Force is the y direction. Shear Force is the x direction. Axial force is either in compression or tension, hence compressive and tensile. Shear force is like a splice it cuts right through the object.
a uniaxial force is a force applied only in one direction - directly in the axis direction
in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.
In axial bearing the most power force in the same direction as the axis of the shaft In radial bearing no.
Poisson's ratio is the negative ratio of how compression affects distortion. When an object is compressed in one direction it expands in two directions perpendicular to the direction of compression. The ratio is equal to d(transverse strain)/d(axial strain).
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
CAT scan used to be short for Computerized Axial Tomography. Think of this as using computers to map the body in the axial plane. (axial is a direction that the image is processed in). The newer machines not only do axial but also multiple other imaging planes (coronal,sagital,biplane,multi plane,etc.) So now they dropped the "axial" and just call it CT scan short for Computerized Tomography.
The angle between chord line and turbine axial direction ( also known as setting angle)
